Bass Bites and Musky Strikes
On this episode of Fishing With Friends, we drive to an unforgettable lake called Bradley Lake, where the smallmouth bass bite was nonstop. We break down gear, techniques, and patterns that helped us land a pile of hard hitting smallies.
The trip didn't end there- after Bradley Lake, I headed out solo to a quiet little spot West Watjack Lake. I spent 3 days living out of my truck, grinding sunrise to sunset in search of musky. The effort paid off with multiple fish, including a 31 inch Musky. A true trophy for a Manitoba and a lake that size.
I share the full story with tips, tricks. and strategies for targeting both smallmouth and musky- from lure choice and presentation changes to reading water and staying mentally locked in during long solo missions.
